A G5 out performs any Pentium as far as DSP power.
On the other hand it could be Apple tatics to get IBM in gear - IBM prommised Apple to deliver a 3 GHZ G5 over 15 months ago.

i feel its largely because of IBM's inability to produce a cool enough running G5 to put in Apple's future laptops. They have to compete in the laptop market and Apple has been unable to produce a G5 laptop with IBM's PPC largely due to heat. Heck the G4 alumninum I have just about burns my legs as i type! and how many years old is that technology?
OSX is clearly superior to any other OS- and I agree that its about time such a great OS teamed up with the world's best, well er, largest market share company and therefore the most $$ for R&D.
